That's a beautiful blanket for the background to a lovely cloth. Very nice. I like the Red Licorice color a lot!

LOL I put the blanket there because it was already in the car and I thought it made a better background than the pink towel that normally covers the passenger seat.

Thanks for the compliments (on both) -- I appreciate it. The kids tell me this is their favorite blanket and I've started another one, but I keep getting distracted from it (which is why it took me three years to make the first one. )

I think I understand the dish drainer cloth now. I've always had the kind of drainer that dumps into the sink, so I was a bit confused about what you were talking about. Anyway, yours is very nice -- that is such a great pattern!

What is really cool is when I am at the sink and I look over and see it I've knitted so many dishcloths and don't own a single one of them, this is the first item I have knitted for our home

That's so cool Claire! I'm knitting a wash cloth for my 23year old son now. He's been complaining he was the only one of us (except me lol) that doesn't have one of his own. My younger son's friends ask for them when they spend the night and have to shower. Knit yourself more!! LOL
